[South Africa / Mass Shootings] - The Fragmented Self Floods the Street with Guns to Feed a Phantom of Power

Event Baseline: Nearly 30 people were killed in two separate mass shootings in South Africa as illegal guns flooded the streets.

The shooter believes in his own power. He cannot see that the gun is a substitute for a self. The state cannot stop it because the state is also a product of fragmentation. The community is broken into territories. Each death reinforces the next. This is not random crime; it is a system error.
